Search 16 U.S.C. § 837e : US Code - Section 837E: Transmission lines for other electric energy; rates

Any capacity in Federal transmission lines connecting, either by
themselves or with non-Federal lines, a generating plant in the
Pacific Northwest or Canada with the other area or with any other
area outside the Pacific Northwest, which is not required for the
transmission of Federal energy or the energy described in section
837h of this title, shall be made available as a carrier for
transmission of other electric energy between such areas. The
transmission of other electric energy shall be at equitable rates
determined by the Secretary, but such rates shall be subject to
equitable adjustment at appropriate intervals not less frequently
than once in every five years as agreed to by the parties. No
contract for the transmission of non-Federal energy on a firm basis
shall be affected by any increase, subsequent to the execution of
such contract, in the requirements for transmission of Federal
energy, the energy described in section 837h of this title, or
other electric energy.
